I was really looking forward to going to KFC tonight with Dave and the girls for our mini Valentine's celebration together - I hadn't had one in far too long!  Unfortunately the service was rather disappointing to say the least.... The food was delicious as always though ?

???????????????

Happy Valentine's Day!

So I woke up this morning and NOTHING!!!!  I was NOT impressed with David at all!!!  I tried to pretend like I wasn't bothered - even though as I stated yesterday that I smashed my mobile phone screen while buying HIM a card!  Yes, we did say that we wouldn't really do anything for Valentine's Day this year (money is a bit on the tight side at the moment...) but not even a card, really!?!

Right, well I'm off out to meet a friend shortly ?  I haven't seen this friend Jessica, for a good few months so I am looking forward to seeing her and her daughter Annie.  I am taking my 11 year old daughter too - they have got a lot of catching up to do as well.  It is interesting though how we sometimes feel about our friends and it can be all too easy to lose contact, sometimes through life just being busy or they may have done something to upset us or that we disagree with.  Sometimes though, we can lose friends  through misunderstandings.  This is what nearly happened with Jessica....

We all know that bullying exists and we don't like it.  It appears that some schools seem to deal with it better than others.  Is it though, that some schools have lower levels of bullying or no bullying at all, due to the social status of the children attending the schools?  Are schools in areas of middle/upper class pupils less likely to encounter bullying here?  Or is bullying rife in all schools, irrespective of social class and it is indeed 'how the school deals with bullying' that needs addressing in order to deter bullies?

Remember, remember the 5th of November.....  We did fireworks in the garden at home this year with friends and family and enjoyed scrumptious food that tickled our tastebuds ?  It was an interesting night that started off calmly....  The bonfire ?
